hello so im charlie (he/him), im a trans guy and im out everywhere i guess, i mean if i could go stealth i probably would, but im not on T yet so i dont pass that well unfortunately. i am working on it though. but my therapist is bad at the trans stuff and you can only get hrt one place in norway and its really bad. like you wont get anything if you arent binary trans and you have to be like really stereotypical boy/girl to get "approved". anyways i hope to get it soon, i guess if im lucky i can start in a year, and if im unlucky it might take over two years. of course worst case scenario would be that i dont get anything at all, but i try not to think about that. yeah anyways i really dont know whats going on with my sexuality/romanticism, i think im demi or on the ace spec but aint gettin no b- uh girlfriends so i dont really know. but yeah i dont fell like labeling who i like but like girls>>>>>>>>>>> anyway hope this wasnt too chaotic but yeah hi, i hope i can meet some cool peoples here and id love to help someone out if anyone has any questinos that ti can answer love always, charlie ( yes thats a reference from the perks of being a wallflower :3 )
charlie.....Hello and a great big LGBTQIA+ welcome to Empty Closets! I can remember the first post that I made on EC. I was desperate for help and I got the help that night that I so needed. I hope that we can help you in the same way that I received help. The most important thing to remember about Empty Closets is that we do care about you! We're very glad that you found us here on EC and hope that we can answer questions, give you support and provide a place to vent (as long as it's not violent!) when that becomes necessary! *****I'm so sorry that it takes so long to get HRT in Norway. I always thought that the Nordic Countries were kind of ahead of the rest of the world in that area but I guess that I'm really wrong on that one. Have you watched any of the FtM youtube videos? I'm guessing that you have, but I'm going to list a few anyway just in case, and I also might have a few that you don't know about! FtM: Alex Bertie, Jammidodger, Noah Finnce, Luke Wale, Sam Collins, Ty Turner, & Dakota Aspen I've followed several of those for quite a long time and I've learned a lot from them. Is there any possibility that you can get a different therapist? Finding a therapist to help me deal with and understand what it meant for me to be gay was one of the best decisions that I've ever made. I'm sure that a therapist who understands what it means to be trans and what it takes to actually transition would be a world of help for you! *****There are 18 different sub-forums here that you can check out and join in the conversations or start your own thread/conversation. In particular you may want to check out the forum that is titled "Gender Identity and Expression”, there are people there who have dealt with some of the same kind of issues that could be challenging you. When you have made at least 10 posts on various threads you will be able to post messages on a member's Profile Page. Just click on a member's Avatar Picture and then click on "Profile Page" in the dialogue box that pops up. You'll then be on their Profile Page and there will be a box that says: "Write Something" When you have been on EC for a few weeks and have made at least 50 posts on various forums, you can apply for Full Membership. A Full Member can send Private Messages (PM) to other Full Members and share personal contact info. Right now you can only send a PM to a Staff Member as that is always possible. Here is a quote from the Full Membership information forum: *****To be eligible you must be a member of Empty Closets for a minimum of two weeks, and have a minimum of 50 posts. These posts must be across numerous forums (Fun & Games does not contribute to post count), and consistently posted across a minimum of two weeks. You wouldn't be eligible, for example, if you registered, had no activity for two weeks, and then returned to post 50 times on your 14th day of membership. *****Well, as I said, we're very glad you found us! If you have any questions at all, you can send me a Private Message. .....David
